Paroles et traduction Dzelzs Vilks - Samta svārkus pacēlusi

Samta svārkus pacēlusi

Lēni, lēni Jānīts brauca
No kalniņa lejiņā;
Saules meita vārtus vēra,
Zvaigžņu cimdi rociņā.
Saule brida jūriņā
Samta svārkus pacēlusi;
Ne tai mirka zelta kurpes,
Ne sidraba ielociņi.

Santa's lifted velvet skirt

Janis was driving slowly, slowly
Down from the hill into the valley;
The sun's daughter opened the gates,
Star gloves in her hands.
The sun wades in the sea,
Her velvet skirt lifted;
Her golden shoes are not flashing,
Nor are her silver folds.
